An exorcist was arrested by police in Bihar's Dasaunti village in Kaimur district, south-west of Patna.

Police arrested the exorcist after he allegedly tried to rape a woman saying that rape is the "cure" for cancer her husband has been suffering from.

The woman approached the tantrik when her husband's disease reached an advanced stage. Suffering financially, she could not admit her husband to a hospital for treatment.

According to a Gulf News report, the woman approached the exorcist identified as Dharmraj Gond, 60, after her husband's condition turned serious.

The man sought Rs 20,000 to hold a special prayer that he claimed would "cure" her husband's cancer. After a negotiation, the deal was settled for Rs 15,000 after which the couple was asked to come at night for the special prayer.

THE BUST

According to the woman, when she reached the man's house for the prayer at night, she was taken alone to a dark room where she suddenly found the exorcist getting physical with her.

She raised an alarm and relatives who were waiting outside the room caught the accused. They told the police about the rape attempt and they arrested him.

"We have arrested the accused and also recovered some human skulls from his possession," a local senior police official Manoj Ram told the media on Thursday, according to the Gulf News report.

The police have registered a case against the exorcist for cheating, conspiracies, and molestation.
